Ben Adhem s name led all the rest! Gilbert Wilcox Mead Nineteenth President of Washington College Tribute Welcome, President Mead! When a stranger enters into a new environment it is the host ' s duty to offer friendly hospitality. How unusual when the newcomer makes you feel at home first! President Mead has, by reflecting his own personality into the adminis- tration of Washington College, created a congenial, friendly and co-operative atmosphere. He exemplifies that type of student he would have us be — active, full of enthusiasm, alert, and possessing a keen sense of humor. President Mead, an able executive and administrator: a scholar, yet still a student with us; a matured gentleman with a broad understanding of the immature college student: a college builder — a man who we feel could be bound in a nutshell and count himself a king of infinite space. Who, if he rises to station of command, Rises by open means; and there will stand On honorable terms or else retire. ea m m ss T lli IE C € IL IL IE e IE E9 m m KS Q C3 ES IS Lines These beauteous forms, Through a long absence, have not been to me As is a landscape to a blind man ' s eye: But oft, in lonely rooms, and ' mid the din Of towns and cities, I have owed to them. In hours of weariness, sensations sweet, Felt in the blood, and felt along the heart; And passing even into my purer mind. With tranquil restoration: — feelings too. Of unremembered pleasure: such, perhaps. As have no slight or trivial influence On that best portion of a good man ' s life. His little, nameless, unremembered acts Of kindness and of love. Nor less, I trust. To them I may have owed another gift. Of aspect more sublime; that blessed mood. In which the burthen of the mystery. In which the heavy and the weary weight Of all this unintelligible world. Is lightened: — that serene and blessed mood. In which affections gently lead us on, — Until, the breath of this corporeal frame And even the motion of our human blood Almost suspended, we are laid asleep In body, and become a living soul: While with an eye made quiet by the power Of harmony, and the deep power of joy. We see into the life of things — William Wordsworth.

William Smith, D.D., Founder and first Presi- dent of Washington College: Founder and Provost of the University of Pennsylvania, and Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Maryland. The book is comparatively small and bound in calf. Its existence was unknown until an inventory was made of the Estate of the late Judge Lewin W. Wickes, of Chestertown, Maryland, a member of the board of Visitors and Governors of this college. The book was printed in 1784 and contains a copy of the petition sent to the General Assembly of Maryland for the establishment of an institution of Higher Learning and the declaration of the Founder to meet the require- ments demanded for such a request. There appears a list of contributors, the curriculum of the college during its incipiency, a valedictory and salutatory speech given at the first commencement, and many other interesting facts not generally known. It contains a paragraph making valid the contention of George Washington ' s visit to the college and the presentation of Gustavas Vasa for his entertainment. This paragraph is reproduced at the close of the following letters. The Pegasus, 1934 We have chosen from the book certain letters disclosing a correspondence between the Rev. William Smith and His Excellency George Washington, after permission h ad been granted by the General Assembly for the establishment of Washington College. The letters concern the securing of permission from His Excellency to place his name at the head of the board of Visitors and Governors. The Pegasus Staff is greatly indebted to Mrs. Clara S. Solandt for the knowledge of the book by the Rev. William Smith. We wish to express our appreciation to Mrs. Solandt, who is entrusted with the book, for the interest and valuable time she has given in acquainting us with the book and allowing us access to it. — The Editor. THE LETTERS (Declaration of the Subscribers) We, the subscribers, Visitors and Governors of Washington College in the State of Maryland, beg leave to declare that agreeable to the act, whereby we are incorporated, entitled, An act for founding a college at Chester Town, there are ten visitors and governors duly chosen in different counties of this Shore upon subscription of Five Hundred Pounds each, in addition to the Seven visitors of Kent County school, and that, We are willing and desirous to take upon us and discharge the trust of visitors and governors of the said college, and that an estate or sum and sums not less than Five Thousand Pounds current money (including the estate of Kent County school) is so secured to be paid to us and the application of the same, toward founding endowing and supporting the said college, according to our best judgment and the tenor of the said act, which is our CHARTER. And we further declare that a sum of money, exceeding Five Thousand Pounds (exclusive of the state of Kent County school), and amounting to Five Thousand Nine Hundred and Ninety-two Pounds Fourteen Shillings and Five Pence, is subscribed toward the said college, as will appear by the subscription list herewith deliv- ered; and that we will use our best endeavors, and have no doubt to obtain a due collection of the said subscriptions, and will faithfully, apply the same as far as obtained, towards founding, endowing and supporting the said college; and also all future benefactors, contributions that may come into our manage- ment and power — The Pegasus. 1934 This we declare this 15th day of October, 1782, under our hands, hav- ing just taken the oaths of fidelity and support to this State, according to direction by our said character of incorporation.

(Copy of a letter from the Visitors of the Kent County School to His Excellency George Washington.) May it please your Excellency, By order and in behalf of the Visitors of the Kent County School, 1 have the honor to enclose to your Excellency an act of the General Assembly of Maryland, for erecting a COLLEGE at Chester, for the benefit of the Eastern Shore on the Peninsula between Chesapeake and Delaware Bays, which they have dignified with the auspicious, WASHINGTON COLLEGE, in the State of Maryland, in the honorable and perpetual memory of His Excellency General Washington, the illustrious and virtuous Commander-in-Chief of the armies of the United States. In every possible way, your country wishes to erect public monuments to you, even while living, and posterity, without doubt, will greatly increase the number: but none, it is believed, can be more acceptable than a seminary of Thirty-Three The Pegasus. 1934 Universal Learning expressly dedicated to your name, with a view of instruct- ing and animating the youth of many future generations to admire and to imitate your public virtues and patriot labors, which have created a private monument for you in the heart of every good citizen. As the college is to be instituted upon the foundation of Kent County School, the Visitors of the said school are by law honored with the great trust of caring the design with execution. They have already been favored with very liberal subscriptions, under the auspices of your name; and have no doubt speedily receiving such further subscriptions, payable in three equal yearly payments, as will amount to the estimate in the law, and enable them, next spring, to build the necessary school rooms for the lectures, in the sciences, and to furnish them with books and philosophical apparatus. The Visitors hope to obtain your Excellency ' s permission to place your name at the head of the seven additional Visitors and Governors of the Col- lege, which the law allows to be chosen from any of the neighboring States, to make pp the number twenty-four, as you will observe. They further hope that the time is not very remote in which this infant seminary may salute you in person, and like a dutiful child, as one of its first works, present the olive wreath and other emblems of peace to its Father, Guardian and Pro- tector. I have the honor to be in behalf and by order of the Visitors of Kent County School, Your Excellency ' s most obedient and humble servant, William Smith. Chester in Kent County, Maryland. July 8, 1782. (His Excellency ' s Reply) Headquarters, Newburg, 18th August, 1782. I have had the honor to receive your favor of the 8th ult. by Colonel Tilghman, who arrived here about ten days ago and to whom I have com- mitted the charge of forwarding this answer. To the gentlemen who moved the matter and to the Assembly for the adopting it, I am much indebted for the honor conferred on me, by giving my name for the college at Chester. At the time that I acknowledge the honor I feel a grateful sensibility for the manner of bestowing it; which as it will remain a monument of their esteem cannot but make a deep impression on my mind, only to be exceeded by the flattering assurance of the lasting anc ' extensive usefulness of the seminary. If the trifling sum of Fifty Guineas will be considered as an earnest ot my wishes of my prosperity to this Seminary, I shall be ready to pay the sum to the order of the Visitors whenever it is their pleasure to call for it — it is too trifling to stand in any of their point of view — nor would I wish it to do so. The Pegasus. 1934 Thirty-Four With much pleasure should I consent to have my name enrolled among the worthy Visitors and Governors of the college: but convinced as I am that it will never be in my power to give the attendance which by law is required my name could only be inserted to the exclusion of some other, whose abilities and proximity might enable him to become a more useful member. When that period shall arrive when we can hail the blest return of peace it will add to my pleasure, to see the infant seat of learning rising into consistency and proficiency in the sciences, under the nurturing hands of its founders. I have the honor to be, Reverend Sir, Your most obedient Servant, George Washington. To the Rev. Dr. Smith at Chester in Kent Sounty, Maryland. {We introduce the following paragraph to acquaint our readers with the record of George Washington ' s visit to Washington College in May. 1784.) To the foregoing account, of the public Exercise in May, 1783, it is only to be added in May 1784, the Seminary was honored with a visit from His Excellency, GEORGE WASHINGTON, Esq: the illustrious Patriot, whose name, it bears, and who took his seat and subscribed his Name as one of the Visitors and Governors. On this occasion, the Students entertained the Public with the Tragedy of GUSTAVAS VASA, the great Deliverer of Sweden from Danish Oppression: a Performance breathing throughout the whole the most animated Sentiments of Liberty. Heroism, and Public Spirit. It was received with the justice approbation, and especially the following lines, of the occasional Epilogue: The latter part of which calling the more immediate attention of the Audience to their favorite hero, in whose Presence was spoken, drew tears of Gratulation from every Eye, and repeated Bursts of Applause from every Heart. — The Speaker was Mr. William Hensley. (Editor ' s Note — The unusual punctuation and capitalization, as well as the italicized words, are an exact reproduction from the Rev. Smith ' s book.) The Pegasus, 1934 Washington College Her Present Status -pi HE year of 1933-34 has been a significant one in the life of Washington T3 College. If it is an augury of the future, as the College starts well Qj ' l into its second span of a century and a half, the days ahead will be bright. This book records many of the highlights of this important year. The end of the session finds the College riding serenely and successfully through the storms of the day, in which many institutions less firmly founded, and less conscious of their destiny, have been lost. As an incidental result of some of the events of the year, Washington College is more widely and better known throughout the land than ever before. It has achieved national recognition, in higher circles, as well as in the eyes of the great public. Its representatives have continued to take their proper place in the advisory circles of intercollegiate affairs. It has strengthened its hold on the intellectual life of its students, and it has made notable success in impressing on them the close and necessary relationship between the problems of the classroom and campus and those of the nation and the world. Materially the College has prospered in that it has been the recipient of gifts and bequests which will ultimately prove of great value to the best work of the College. From the bequest of one alumnus will come finally a sum in excess of $100,000. This was left the College by the late Charles F. Harley, who was a scholarship student here in his day. and who said that whatever he was, arose from what Washington College gave him. By a gift of $1,500, Mrs. Frank Madison Dick of Cambridge,- Mary- land, has established the Elisha Cullen Dick Memorial Reading Room in Reid Hall. Our beloved Dr. Titsworth left the sum of $1,000 for the general Library endowment. Gradually new playing fields and tennis courts are being developed this year, and the health and recreation of the members of the College are being more adequately cared for. The Pegasus, 1934 The Faculty are spending long hours in a detailed and intimate survey and re-appraisal of the problems of the curriculum — a sign of healthy and intellectual vitality. It has been a year of hard work, of progress, and of pleasant times in the doing of hard work for a definite ideal. AH in all. the College stands firmly founded, and is going forward. The Class of 1934. as it graduates, will have much to look back upon, but probably nothing in its career will loom so large as the events which they enjoyed as Seniors. Gilbert W. Mead.

Far, far ahead, is all her seaman know. And where the land she travels from? Away, Far, far behind, is all that they can say. On sunny noons upon the deck ' s smooth face. Linked arm in arm, how pleasant here to pace; Or, o ' er the stern reclining, watch below The foaming wake far widening as we go. On stormy nights when wild northwesters rave. How proud a thing to fight with wind and wave! The dripping sailor on the reeling mast Exults to bear, and scorns to wish it past. Where lies the land to which the ships would go? Far, far ahead, is all her seaman know. And where the land she travels from? Away, Far, far behind, is all that they can say. — Arthur Hugh Clough. The Base of All Metaphysics And now gentlemen, A word I give to remain in your memories and minds, As base and finale, too, for all metaphysics. (So to the students the old professor. At the close of his crowded course.) Having studied the new and antique, the Greek and Germanic Systems, Kant having studied and stated, Fichte and Schelling and Hegel, Stated the lore of Plato, and Socrates greater than Plato, And greater than Socrates sought and stated, Christ divine Having studied long, I see reminiscent today those Greek and Germanic Systems, See the philosophies all, Christian churches and tenets see, Yet underneath Socrates clearly see, and underneath Christ The divine I see. The dear love of man for his comrade, the attraction of Friend to friend, Of the well-married husband and wife, of children and parents. Of city for city and land for land. — Walt Whitman. IPaVCILILTT To the Class of 1934 |(9X | S the first year of my life at Washington College draws toward its end, rTj my feelings, I imagine, are not unlike those of the Freshmen. New |igi{ surroundings, new faces, new problems have all made their impression. New duties and responsibilities, constantly increasing, have forced me to be alert to the present, while remaining conscious of the past and careful of the future of our College. The year has been a pleasure, filled with adventures in friendship and rich with high hopes of even greater things ahead — possibilities which will be translated into actualities as we release and harness to our purpose the vast store of potential energy which is not as yet turning the wheels toward Wash- ington College ' s greater destiny. I congratulate you all — students, faculty, alumni — for the fine spirit evi- dent here; a spirit which strives to understand that which is best, to look toward the goal of greater power, achievement and service for the College, and to remember that the united force of all of us, directed toward a common goal of achievement, will certainly have its reward in the fruitful lives of the sons and daughters of Old Washington. To the Class of 1934 I give this special word: Go forward! The College has done what it could for you in these four short years. We hope that you will bear proudly the mark of your Alma Mater into a world which needs vision and devoted labor. We want you, as alumni, to sense the con- stant interest we have in you, whatever and wherever your lives may be. You are in and of the College, and that relationship can never be denied. As you go forward, so do we all. Wherever it may be, we go together. Gilbert W. Mead. The Pegasus, 1934 DR. GILBERT WILCOX MEAD President DR. J. S.

I wonder if we thought of ourselves then as just another drop in the big bucket of Destiny? It was a large drop, to say the least. Since then our material dimensions have shrunk away, leaving, we like to think, the best of the original. But if this were the only change it would be a waste of time to think upon it, and still more an impertinence to write. How has it concerned us that in the closing days of the year before our advent, the greatest city in our nation and the most influential in the world found itself face to face with the direst of all circumstances: and that these circumstances probably precipitated a malady that has been brewing through- out the earth? Out of its sky a dismal cloud has descended and out of the The Pegasus. 1934 gloom shone the words of the awful truth: Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin: words which stopped the dizzy downward flight of a crazied world and blasted its glossy illusions. How has it concerned us that in the halt and parley which followed, the very groundwork of our being was made to tremble and rock because of its insecurity. The mighty turmoil during our four years, the backwash of a mightier cataclysm, has lifted us above the simple, happy-go-lucky environment of a college into the wrong and fret of a troubled world. We have felt, perhaps, a certain security in the present, but we have ever been conscious of the im- pending distress that awaits us on the outside. Unfortunately, it has taken its toll of some of us before our course was run. We are not a college class of the old vintage. Something of the seriousness of the world at large has per- vaded our feelings. We are constantly reminded of a certain folly which the nations of the earth have committed: and in the lead of them all we see our own America. The very things which we had thought to have contributed to the good and comfort of the world loom large as the cause of all the trouble. Has Democ- racy run its course? We wonder. Is science but an idle dream P Are all the things we have based our hopes upon mere illusions? What are we, on the outset of adventure, to do when we see our ideals clashing down before we even start toward them? What must we think when we see such molly- coddling of mediocrity, such boot-licking of ignorance, such obsequious fond- ling of the multitude, the stronghold of vulgarity by those in high places, and when we see the appetites of the mob, the majority, determining the tastes of the few and the select? But no, we see then that Democracy is not wrong — at least in spirit. It is our reckless pursuit of a too highly idealized and impractical theory that is at fault. It is the failure of the intelligent and privileged to cherish and defend their birthright that is both criminal and astonishing. Science is not wrong, nor is truth. We may be playing with a fire, the danger of which we do not foresee, but it is not the spirit of the search that is wrong. It has been and ever will be the use we make of what we find that will either save or destroy us. We see now that Humanity ' s greatest weakness is in the end at which it has been aiming and has not yet ceased to aim. One cannot hang his life upon a bubble if he expects to keep it. Our problem is not different from that which millions of others face. It is, however, different from that which Youth has always faced. Those who are older and far wiser than we are facing it, too. Our four years have kept us ever on our toes. They have produced in us a healthy skepticism, and what can be more secure? It is the passport, full of pre-experience, into a turbulent and unfeeling world. The future for us is not bright. We have placed our Destiny in a leader. That which we face is not easy, but it is perhaps a little clearer. We have been saved, though we have paid for it, from the damnation of intellectual blindness. The Pegasus, 1934 Foreword NDOUBTEDLY we Seniors deserve the unlimited number of pages just devoted to us. To be sure, it is our book. WE are the Class of ' 34 and this is the ' 34 PEGASUS. To us Seniors it is an uncanny thing that there should be anyone else wandering through the Halls of Washington — that the College and instructors find anyone but Seniors with which to lend it life and make up classes. WE are a pretty important group. WE are the SENIORS. But can we really feel our importance unless we have someone to enter- tain? Can we act without an audience? No. Now what would we do without those underclassmen? Could they possibly be so indispensable to our importance? Now, after all, could we Seniors take the responsibility expected of an entire student body? Would we be able to make up a team for every sport: Are we all of college life? You bet not! Though you be our inferiors in class distinction, many of you are our equals in ability, our fellow brothers and sisters, teammates — to be sure friends. When we soar around in that Senior sky, you — you underclassmen are so insignificant, but when we come down to earth you are vividly real and cherished. So while we are in an earthly state of mind, it is with pleasure WE give you THE CLASSES The Pegasus, 1934 ILNIDIEIC-CILaVSSIES Harry Robert Huey, President The Junior Class Roster Baker. R. A..

William Jones called together the Dean ' s Cabinet, com- ■ ' ■ posed of representative men on the campus, to discuss and act in an ad- vi:ory w y on any campus problem that might arise, and to help im- prove student affairs on the Hill. Meetings are held periodically and may be called by the Dean or at the request of five members of the Cabinet. Since its organization the Cabinet has satisfactorily settled various student problems and has contributed considerably to the betterment of conditions on the campus. It was a vital factor in the suc- cessful reorganization on the Honor Code and the Student Government Asso- ciation. The Dean ' s Cabinet, being the most representative group, continues to bring student difficulties to light and to bring the student body and administra- tion closer together. Its service proves that it merits a first place among college organizations.

The fine work performed has been specially grati- fying when it is considered that the Council ' s powers were so seriously questioned and brought to a test in 1932-33. Few cases of violations of the Honor Code were reported to the Council this year, and it is felt that the removal of everything from the Code except violations concerning academic work has been a great step forward.

It regu- [JV lates the internal affairs of Reid Hall, promotes personal responsibility and a high sense of honor. The Council is composed of three Seniors, one of whom is President of the Association, and one Vice-President; two Juniors, one of whom is the Secretary and Treasurer; one Sophomore and one Freshman, who is elected the first Thursday in November. Since 1933 there has been a proportionate rep- resentation of non-sorority girls on the Council. The advisors are Dr. Esther M.

The main purpose of the Society is to foster the appreciation by its members of all things literary. Along with this purpose an attempt is made to improve the expression in debating, oratory, and parliamentary pro- cedure of the members. This purpose is attained by having talks and discussions on plays, dramas, books and other subjects of current interest, with occasional impromptu speeches.

FRANK GOODWIN (£ INGE its founding in 1924, the Y. M. G. A. at Washington Gollege has continuously filled an integral need in the life of the College. It has created, in its small but sincere circle, principles of Christian faith and devoutness, which have been thence inculcated into a leading portion of the student body. The current year has been monumental in the further development of the Y. M. G. A., since a complete and effective reorganization, under the direction of Professor Frank Goodwin, the adoption of an adequate constitution, and representation at various conventions in the Eastern United States, mark but particular achievements. The cooperation with the churches of the town has been continued, and the Y sponsored the Freshman Handbook, as usual.

ANNA LUCILLE Legg Faculty Advisor Dr. Esther Mohr Dole ACH Sunday evening this year the Young Women ' s Christian Associa- tion has sponsored vesper services in Reid Hall, where the girls have invited the Young Men ' s Christian Association to assemble with them in joint meetings. The Association sent three delegates to the first Y conference this year, which was held in Washington, D. C. Later it sent two delegates to the con- vention held at Western Maryland College. Each year the Y. W. makes its special obligation to welcome the incom- ing Freshman Class and to appoint a Big Sister for each of the Freshman women. Since its organization in 1931-32, the Young Women ' s Christian Asso- ciation has been progressing rapidly and occupies a laudable place among our campus activities. The Pegasus. 1934 The Washington Players President LUCILE Rasin Stage Manager HARRY CLEMENT RHODES Director PrOF. JOHN DONALD MAKOSKY T HE purpose of this organization is to create and maintain an interest in dramatics. The members achieve valuable experience in stage manage- ment, stage setting and property work, as well as acting. For each play a cast is selected competitively from the individuals who try out for the different parts. The first presentation this year was Dulcy, by George S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly. The date of the Shakespeare play caused the cancellation of the three one-act plays usually given. The excellent training afforded and the line productions offered make this activity worthwhile and entertaining. The Pegasus, 1934 Director . The Shakespeare Players Dr. Gertrude Van Arsdale Ingalls NJOYING the reputation of being the Parnassus of Washington College, the Shakespeare Club, more than any other organization on the Hill, wields a far-reaching influence. From its very inception three years ago the Club, under the careful nurture of Dr. Gertrude Van A. Ingalls, has grown into a Washington insti- tution. Combining the exquisite poetry of Shakespeare with the delightful dramatic technique of the Elizabethans, the Club has to date produced three of the poet ' s most important works. Romeo and Juliet, given in 1932, opened up to the public a mine of talent, and in 1933 A Midsummer-Night ' s Dream held the boards success- fully. But the very epitome of art was reached this year with the delicate interpretation of the immortal As You Like It. With this production the Club ' s reputation has been definitely established. The organization is unique in that it dispenses with the cumbersome con- vention of officers, each member assuming the responsibilities of administration, and with the unrelenting ardor of Dr. Ingalls, the Club gives fair promise of achieving even greater laurels in the future.

Professor John Donald Makosky peeled off a few of the mummy shrouds of the once vigorous and honored activity, and found enough of a skeleton remaining to build thereon a debating society which had, at its first meeting, a full score of ardent aspirants. An affirmative team of Wesley Sadler and William Baker, and a negative team of John Smithson and Gilbert Inger- soll elected to debate the question: Resolved, That the powers of the President of the United States should be substantially increased as a settled policy. Pro- fessor Frederick William Dumschott capably arranged for the accessibility of material. The negative journeyed to Blue Ridge College for a judgeless debate on March 17, while the affirmative won over Blue Ridge at home on March 21. On April 7 a debate on the negative side of the same question was pre- sented by a team including John Smithson, Wesley Sadler and William Baker against the University of Maryland, at College Park.

Meetings twice monthly have alternated between presentations of independent studies on the part of members and informal talks by interested department heads who have given generously of their time and experience. Particular attention is given to the part played in modern life by our inheritance of ancient culture. As circumstances permit, the Society plans to invite to the college outside speakers of distinction in the classical field.

About a score of members vi ere on the charter roll. Meetings, which occur bi-weekly, consist in the reading of papers which include some original research in chemical literature, or offer first-hand knowl- edge of recent developments in a specific field. Moving pictures of chemistry in industry are periodically shown. As the first scientific club at Washington College for many years, the Society has felt all the growing pains usually attendant upon an organization for the dissemination of pure knowledge. But it has insisted on spontaneous rather than forced interest and will progress on this policy.

IPILIBILIICATICNS THE PEGASUS T is a pleasure for the 1934 Pegasus Staff to present the Student Body the eighth volume of the Pegasus. An illness to the Editor necessitated a very able staff and a most carefully selected advisor. The Associate Editors, Ralph Harries and Alfred Hodgson proved indispensable. Their willing cooperation to execute the Editor ' s request made it possible to meet the responsibility of early work on the Pegasus. The Staff can never estimate the valuable assistance of Prof. John D. Makosky, advisor. His constructive criticism, advice and suggestions are greatly responsible for the raw material taking its finished form. Many bubbles were blown and broken in the course of planning this book. Waste baskets were filled many times with fruitless efforts. The fog finally settled enough to complete a dummy for the Printer. How well we have succeeded we leave for you to decide. This Pegasus is just a scrap book for the class of ' 34, but it is in a scrap book that we most intimately show ourselves. Now our parents and friends may share this intimacy — our highlights and every day college life. Although the Pegasus has long been founded, we hope the succeeding editors will be pioneers in establishing new thoughts. We reluctantly pass on the excitement and pleasure of editing a Pegasus — yes, the trials and disappointments too. Be this edition successful or unsuccessful, such as it is, we send it to its fate.

Russel ' 26, during the college year 1925-26, and was called The Washington Collegian. Before 1925-26 records show that a paper was published in book form as far back as 1899, and that year it appeared in varying forms and numbers. When the 1934 class members were Freshman, The Washington Collegian as a name for the paper was dropped and replaced by The Washington Elm. The paper as now published is a bi-monthly production, and is composed of from four to eight pages. It attempts to imitate the modern journalistic style of writing, and offers each student the chance to contribute. This year especially has witnessed more student interest in The Elm. The present Freshman class possesses a wealth of literary material which should develop into a good staff by their senior year. The outstanding paper issued during this year was the Roosevelt Com- memorative Issue, which appeared on Saturday, October 21, when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt attended the Dr. Gilbert W. Mead Inaugural, and received the Honory Degree of Doctor of Laws at Washington College.

S€CIIAIL Cotillion Club S THIS year ends the pages are closed of another successful chapter in the history of the Washington College Cotillion Club. The Cotillion Club is the only organization on the campus which sponsors formal functions for the entire student body. It has staged the usual five dances this year with great success, despite the handicaps under which it had to function. The Cotillion Club is a strong bond between the young alumni and the College. Many familiar faces are seen at these dances and the students and alumni find the cotillions an indispensable means of social contact. The Cotillion Club dances are open for subscription to all students and alumni of the College, together with subscribers approved by the Committee.

The pantomime will include characteristic, acrobatic, pantomimic and esthetic dances. The unusual talent offered Miss Bell promises a remarkable amateur per- formance. Washington College can boast over any other college in Maryland a fete exclusive in itself, as pantomimes are produced only at Washington, due to the experience of Miss Bell. An old fairy tale finds for its queen Lucile Rasin, and for its prince Dorothy Kimble, who take us centuries back and live again an old romance for us. Once upon a time a princess was out walking with her ladies in waiting. They walked so far they became lost. They went on and on until they came to a palace with a beautiful garden. The gate was open, and it looked so alluring they went in, not knowing it was enchanted. A wicked old witch had put a curse on the garden that anyone who entered it could never leave again until a maiden, fair and sweet enough should be able to walk through a golden hoop in the garden. Then the spell would be broken and the prince of the land would make her his bride. The princess and her maids thought the garden lovely, and they amused themselves for a while with the captured people in it, when all of a sudden the golden hoop appeared. Each maid in turn tried to walk through but could not, until the princess tried, and lo and behold, she was able to do so with the greatest of ease. Then the prince came out of the palace and crowned her his queen, and they lived happily ever after. The Pegasus, 1934 Visit of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Honored Guest at the Inaugural of Dr. Gilbert Wilcox Mead as Nineteenth President of Washington College One Hundred Thirty-Thr The Pegasus, 1934 Inaugural Address Gilbert Wilcox Mead CU T IS a beautiful thing to dream in quiet academic shades. It is better to transmute the evanescent magnificence of those visions into the stone and steel of deeds well done and a new world builded, as much as into the gems and gold of esthetic comforts and delights. The college trained men and women can rule the world if they but dare to seize it and bend it to their purpose. They must be taught, trained, urged, stimulated to do this v ery thing . . . Within our organization here we have renewed our pledge to co-operative endeavor in a common aim. The highest development of the capacities of the individual student is our purpose. There must be no rubber stamping. We know we are teaching not books but men, not lessons but living. Intimacy and friendliness are therefore our prime essentials. The personal guidance of the inspiring teacher can mean infinitely more to the searching youth than a library full of the lore of ages. Herein lies the great claim to the permanence of the small college, such as Washington is and always has been . . . I assume the Presidency of this College in the full certainty of her bril- liant future and her glorious destiny. The Pegasus, 1934 Conferring the Degree Hiram Staunton Brown It is sufficient to state that Washington College desires not only to make public recognition in permanent fashion of the outstanding services already rendered the nation by our guest, but also to evidence to him at this time our sincere appreciation of the honor he has bestov ed upon us by his visit. We also desire him to know that to the extent of our limited ability and in our modest way he has our support and our most heartfelt wishes for the complete success of his leadership during this very difficult period in the history of our Republic. Now, therefore, by virtue of the authority vested by the State of Mary- land in the Board of Visitors and Governors of Washington College and by them delegated to me, I hereby confer upon you, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the degree of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa, with all the rights and privileges thereto appertaining. The Pegasus, 1934 Speech in Acceptance of Degree Franklin Delano Roosevelt F WE could provide in the nation for an adequate education for everybody, the spirit of the country would be vastly safe- guarded. It is in this spirit that we en- courage and foster the institutions of this nation; and throughout the land, it is in this spirit that we are seeking, in times of depression, to prevent further attack on our educational system, which is building up the possibilities of this education to every boy and girl. In the last analysis we need people who have had a chance to look not just at the history of things in the past, but to look also into the application of that history to the problems of the moment and future. It is that thought which leads us to an ideal of education . . . And so, in the years to come, not just through the life of this immediate program, but all my life, I shall continue to watch Washington College, the president, the faculty, its students, its graduates, with a feeling that I am one of them; that I have been very greatly honored in being made an alumnus of the College; and I breathe the same prayer that George Washington made to the College nearly a century and a half ago, that the Creator of the Uni- verse will look down on the College and give it His benediction. Let me tell you simply and from the bottom of my heart that I am proud to have come, proud of the honor; and I wish you Godspeed in the years to come.

C s Q C9 Q KS The Athletic Council HE ATHLETIC COUNCIL is part of the Athletic Association, which is made up of the entire student body. The Council includes all members I (ji- of the coaching staff, the Graduate Manager of Athletics, one Faculty representative, and the President of the Athletic Association. The year 1934 marks the outstanding achievement in the history of the Athletic Association. A revolutionary method of selecting athletic team cap- tains was adopted. No captain for the entire year will be elected. The head coach of the particular sport will appoint a captain for each game. A second accomplishment of note is the agreement to award the cheer leaders with the W, which award will be governed on the same conditions as granting letters to managers. The Pegasus, 1934 The W Club President CHARLES BRANCH CLARK Vice-President ALBERT EDWARD DOBKINS Secretary JOHN MASON LORD Treasurer ElLERY JEROME WARD Sergeant -at -Arms Orville DelbERT Proudfoot HE W CLUB at Washington College is composed of men who have won their varsity insignia in any major sport and who have been duly initiated into the organization. The actual time of its founding is lost in the past records of Washington. It was originally formed as an honor society with the purpose of promoting good sportsmanship and of raising the standard of the W. The college year 1930-31 saw a complete reorganization of the Varsity Club into the W Club with a new and extensive program. Its activities now include the entertaining of members of visiting athletic teams and the awarding of keys to all graduating members of the W Club. These keys bear an engraved list of the sports in which the men have earned their letter. The W dance and the W banquet are annual affairs sponsored by the W Club. To increase the number of men competing in sports, and to reward spirit and effort of non-varsity men, the W Club gives appropriate awards.

After scratching around for some time as to the method of approach, it occurred that some interesting figures might be presented. If you were to consult the College Bulletin for 1934-1935, you would learn that the enrollment for the year 1933-1934 is 264. Of that number 95 are co-eds, leaving 169 boys to draw from to develop our varsity teams. That number is further reduced as a certain percentage of men are not physically able to participate in violent exercises. Should you check up on the number of candidates for each team, including those seeking the managerial berths, you would learn that 139 boys have been given the opportunity to make the re- spective teams. Naturally, some of these boys try for several teams, and so. in order to portray a clearer picture, an estimate was made of those trying out for one. two or three sport s. The results reveal that 55 men tried out for one sport, 30 tried out for two sports, and 8 tried out for three sports. This means that of our total male enrollment 93 men were candidates for the varsity teams. From the point of view of spirit, these figures make significant a very interesting fact. All these men receive training in the art of co-operation in order that they as individuals may contribute in their due time to the success of the team. Now, success cannot be individual success unless it means, first of all, group success. Group success, in this case, means the success of the team representing Washington College. If that training means anything to the indi- vidual, it will develop in him a tenderness and love for the institution he repre- sents. That in turn will be so evident in his own attitude and actions that it will influence those about him. Our athletes can do very much to develop, to a higher degree, the spirit of the College, whether they happen to be on the varsity at the time or not, by their own enthusiasm for Washington College. If that spirit is kept for games only it will not be as valuable as it might be. -ue spirit is expressed and made manifest at all times. — Frederick William Dumschott.

Ekaitis placed a better eleven on the field than the improved 1932 outfit. More games were won, and the true fighting spirit, absent from Washington College squads of the past, was evident throughout the season. In addition to a fine schedule which listed eight games with opponents of nearly equal ability. Coach Ekaitis, with the help of Coach Kibler, had twelve letter men from the 1932 season, including Captain Camber, Reinhold, Harries, Dobkins, Hall, Clark, Ward, Lord, Dwyer, Bil ancioni, Baker and Berry, with which to build his 1933 grid machine. After a strenuous pre-season period of three weeks, the gridmen met nop- kins in Baltimore in the season ' s opener. The Coaches, students and followers were disappointed as the Blue Jays were allowed to capitalize upon fumbles in the Shoremen ' s backfield to gain scoring opportunities for two touchdowns. A third was earned through a lengthy advance featured by the passing of Beeler to McClean. The Washington line played brilliantly, being practically im- One Hundred Forty- Five The Pegasus. 1934 penetrable. Hen Nowak, the find of the practice season, and Dwyer, his run- ning mate at tackle, performed best for the Maroon and Black. In the second contest of the season, on Kibler Field, Gallaudet was crushed 48-0, the most decisive football victory in years for Washington. The backfield showed vastly improved form, featuring Reinhold ' s kicking, while Harries, Ward, Lord, Captain Gamber and Skipp stood out on the line. The University of Delaware, playing on Kibler Field before the largest football crowd in the history of the Eastern Shore, scored eight points in the first quarter to win again the trophy donated by Senator David O. Hastings, of Delaware. The work of Omar Carey and Joe Hall on the line, and of Dobkins, Reinhold and Bilancioni in the backfield was prominent. The next three contests were lost: to Susquehanna University, by one touchdown; to Mt. St. Mary ' s, by a 19-6 score: and to St. Joseph ' s at Phila- delphia, 7-0. The team appeared to lose the games in the opening minutes, before settling down to outplay their opponents completely. Hobart Tignor, subbing for the injured Bilancioni, romped all over the gridiron at Haverford, scoring a touchdown and gaining much ground. Ellery Ward at tackle blocked two kicks and fell on one for a safety to give the other two points in the 9-0 victory. In the final contest of the season, Loyola tri- umphed 7-0 as a substitute guard intercepted a pass to run fifty yards unmo- lested for a touchdown. The season was judged a success, and prospects for next year are good. Dobkins and Gamber were the outstanding players of the season, while Rein- hold, Lord, Dwyer, Ward, Berry, Nowak and others performed creditably throughout the games. At the annual football banquet, Dobkins received the Wade G. Bounds Award for having done the most for Washington College football, while the following received the coveted W : Captain Gamber, Captain-elect Dwyer, Dobkins, Harries, Reinhold, Hall, Carey, O ' Farrell, Bilancioni, Lord, Baker, The Pegasus, 1934 One Hundred Forty-Six Greims, Ward, Tignor, Skipp. Nowak and Berry. Emory Burkhardt, manager. also was awarded his letter. Following the close of the grid season, several Maroon and Black per- formers were honored by Baltimore sports writers when mythical All-Maryland elevens were chosen. Dick Gamber was selected on the Evening Sun ' s second All-State team, while Al Dobkins received distinction on the Baltimore Sun ' s second eleven. Reinhold, Lord, Ward and Berry received honorable mention. Coach George L. Ekaitis was given due credit for his unexcelled efforts with the light squad, and is expected to have a more improved and better eleven this next season. Ellis Dwyer, new captain, is the last captain that will be elected by the squad, as new rulings provide for selection by the coaches. He should make a fine leader.

Only one letter man, Dick Johnson, captain in 1932-33, had been lost by graduation, and all five of the starting regulars were back. Baltimore sports writers picked the Kibler-coached machine as the one that would replace Mt. St. Mary ' s as Maryland Collegiate League champions. Coach Kibler and his assistant. Prof. Dumschott, had from Thanksgiving until the middle of January in which to prepare for the opening contest against Johns Hopkins. Veterans on hand were Captain Proudfoot. Al Giraitis, Gamber, Skipp, Ward, Hodgson, and Huey. Non-letter men working hard for a position included Nicholson, Rees, Johns. Evans, Berry, Bilancioni and Reinhart. Returning from Christmas holidays the Shore players displayed a smooth-working outfit which revived memories of former championship Wash- ington College fives. The opening game in Baltimore brought the expected results when Hop- kins was trounced 29-20 on January 12, following a strong comeback in the second half. Captain Proudfoot led in scoring, while Huey held Don Kelley, Hopkins ace, to a lone field goal. Even in victory, however, the Flying Pen- tagon showed plainly its lack of game competition, and was ragged in play, often missing easy shots and passing wildly at times. The next night, Mt. St. Mary ' s, 1932-33 league champs, surprised with a 36-21 victory over the local five at Emmitsburg. This defeat was only the first of a string of nine straight setbacks, a thing unheard of at Washington College. Bill Nicholson, in his first varsity performance, showed much promise. but. like the rest of the team, played spasmodically. The Pegasus, 1934 Followers were hopeful as Western Maryland was engaged in the third game and were equally dumfounded as the Green Terrors triumphed at West- minster, 35-17. Three nights later, on the home floor, the upstaters again took the measure of the Flying Pentagon by a closer score, 23-18. In between these two games, Swarthmore, on their home floor, defeated Proudfoot and his mates, 32-29, when the Shore players let down late in the game. Giraitis sank seven field goals in this encounter, and, with Gamber, was playing the best ball for Washington. In the fifth league contest, Loyola placed Washington in undisputed pos- session of the cellar position in the league, returning to Baltimore on the long end of a 24-17 count. Mid-year examinations suspended play for a week and then St. John ' s came to Chestertown and emerged victor, 36-35, in an extra period, as Butterworth, all-state center, tallied fifteen points in the last half. The play of Skipp, Nicholson, Gamber, Giraitis, Proudfoot and Ward was much improved in this contest. At about this time of the season, Al Hodgson, diminutive but fast for- ward with a good shooting eye, was forced out of the game with a knee injury. Harry Huey, veteran guard, had to leave college because of financial troubles, and his steady play was missed. Lady Ill-luck still followed the Flying Pentagon, and Hopkins avenged their early defeat by evening matters at Chestertown with a neat victory. Ed Evans looked good in his initial varsity performance. Mt. St. Mary ' s made a The Pegasus. 1934 clean sweep of the home-and-home series by also taking the local quintet over in the Washington College gymnasium. Phil Skipp scored fifteen points and gave his best performance of the year. The University of Maryland, led by the Buscher brothers, trimmed their Shore rivals at College Park, 44-33. Nich- olson dropped seven double-deckers through the cords, but his teammates were not so successful. The second victory of the season was won from Delaware on the home floor. Giraitis, Skipp, Bilancioni and Gamber turned in good performances in the 24-16 win. Loyola definitely gave the league cellar position to the Shore- men by winning handily in Baltimore, 25-21, St. John ' s was defeated 28-27 in a thrilling contest at Annapolis for the third win, and in the last game Delaware was trounced for the fourth victory. Many reasons were offered by sports writers, players, coaches and fol- lowers for the dismal showing. Lack of condition and competitive spirit, it seemed, were chiefly responsible. Lost to the next year ' s squad will be Proudfoot, Gamber, Giraitis and Hodgson. With a veteran nucleus, better results are expected in 1934-35. Letters were awarded to Captain Proudfoot, Gamber, Giraitis, Ward, Bi- lancioni and Skipp. Nicholson left College for a naval preparatory school before the season ended. Dick Gamber was placed at a guard position on the second all-league team by the coaches of teams in the league.

Washington The Pegasus, 1934 HE history of lacrosse at Washington College extends back to 1929 when Chief Beatty, former University of Maryland star, coached the Maroon and Black stickwielders. Although the sport naturally enjoyed little success in its first years, it was a most popular one; for not only among the players themselves, but within the student group as a whole there was keen interest. In 1931, Omar Gus Crothers, also a star performer while at the University of Maryland, tutored the Washington College players. The out- standing feature of that season was a 9-1 victory over the University of Virginia. More important, however, was the fact that on the squad that year were seven or eight men who were to work together for three additional years. This group, then Freshmen, included Fritz Reinhold, Dick Camber, Charley Clark, Al Giraitis, Paul Pippin, Omar Carey, Emory Burkhardt, Joe Hall and Pat Beasman. With the above named group of players as a nucleus. Coach George L. Ekaitis, fresh from Western Maryland College stardom, began moulding his first lacrosse combination at Washington College. He was thoroughly familiar with the game, having been player-coach at Western Maryland, and having played professional box lacrosse in Baltimore. His first team was a good one, better than any since, from the standpoint of victories. Fritz Reinhold was quickly gaining an enviable position among the goalkeepers of the nation and was given second All-Maryland ranking. Games were won from Lehigh and Lafayette, while New York University won a fluke victory in the closing minutes of play after the Shoremen held a 5-1 lead until the regulars were removed as a result of a mistake in the time remaining for play. Valuable experience was gained by playing the Big Three of American Lacrosse, St. John ' s, Hopkins and the University of Maryland. The latter team was held to a very low score as Fritz Reinhold made spectacular stops time and again. Charley Clark held the great Ail-American center, Willie Pugh, scoreless in this contest. The 1933 lacrosse team played a fine brand of lacrosse, but had contests The Pegasus, 1934 listed only with the best combinations in the country. The number of team participants in ' 33 was cut from twelve to ten and the field length was reduced to eighty yards. These factors speeded up the game and proved particularly tough to the Shoremen, as reserves were now more essential than ever and were lacking. This handicap was apparent in every game, but the practice tilt with Sparrows Point High School. Mt. Washington, Hopkins and St. John ' s each won by rather decisive scores, while Swarthmore won by a small margin. Pat Beasman, a southpaw wing attackman, was showing up well in his first season as Varsity performer. Omar Carey, shifted from the defense to a close attack position, paired up well with Dick Chambers. The season was judged a success as victories could hardly be expected over such big league opponents as were encountered. Captain Phil Wingate, Dick Gamber, and Charley Clark composed what lacrosse writers termed a stellar midfield trio, and each was given honorable mention for All-Maryland. Similar honors were also accorded to Paul Pippin, fine close defense man, who held Don Kelley, Hopkins ace, to a lone goal; to Al Giraitis, who played a fine and heady game, and to Omar Carey, whose best play of the year was a circle dodge that resulted in a goal from a difficult angle at Maryland. Fritz Reinhold, Captain-elect for 1934, was given All- American ranking, and was selected to play on an All-Star team at the World ' s Fair — a game that didn ' t materialize because of lack of funds. We now turn to the present season, 1934. As the Pegasus goes to press, three games have been played, with one remaining. Financial difficulties nearly caused the dropping of the sport this year, but the four-game schedule was arranged with the hopes that it would be supplemented before the season ended. Coach Ekaitis missed the services of Phil Wingate, Joe Bringhurst, and Paul Pippin, defense men. The first two named graduated, but unfortunately, Pippin was kept out of the game as the result of an operation. The attack, consisting of Carey, Chambers, Beasman, Giraitis, and Clark, was intact from 1933, with Gamber at a wing defense, and Reinhold at goal completing the veterans on hand. The Pegasus, 1934 One Hundred Fifty-Fo The opening game against Hopkins was lost 12-1. The Shoremen showed decided lack of condition as a result of only live days practice, due to snow and an intervening Easter vacation. Charley Clark, veteran center, tallied the lone goal of his team on a pass from Al Giraitis. John Lord, Bill Watson, Ellis Dwyer, Ellery Ward, and Joe Hall, were the new defense men to see service, and though lacking in experience, performed as well as expected. Ward in particular showed great promise, using his experience in other sports to decided advantage. Fritz Reinhold played his usual excellent game at goal. The second game, with St. John ' s, was a disappointment and the Maroon and Black stickwielders were trounced 13-0 on a sandy and poor field at Salisbury. The game had been transferred from Annapolis by the desires of St. John ' s authorities. Many Washington Alumni witnessed the affair, and Eastern Shore High School athletes were admitted without cost to see their first lacrosse battle. The third quarter was the one in which most damage was done, as eight shots found their mark. The bad field necessitated much substitution, which St. John ' s only was able to do. Joe Hall, replacing Watson in the starting lineup, performed well, as did Ward, while Gamber, Clark, Giraitis, Beasman and Carey played hard, consistent games. Burk- hardt showed to good advantage while in the game. The third game was dropped to Maryland 6-0. The contest was extremely well played. The Washington defense showed much improvement, while the attack controlled the ball and failed to score only because of overanxiousness. The Maroon and Black midfieldmen played a hard game, while Fritz Reinhold played one of the best games of his career. Mt. Washington will be met in Baltimore on May 19, It is hoped that the eight Seniors who will in that contest wear the Maroon and Black for the last time will terminate their careers with a victory. These eight Seniors are Capt. Reinhold, Gamber, C. Clark, Hall, Beasman, Carey, Giraitis, and Burkhardt. It is possible at this writing that one or two more games will supplement this year ' s schedule. The Pegasus, 1934 Baseball Head Coach J. THOMAS KiBLER Assistant Coach FRED W.

St. Mary ' s The Pegasus, 1934 rp| HE 1934 baseball team is the first since the spring of 1930 at Washington [ College to have a complete and well-organized schedule. The 1933 [jV nine was disappointed in that its schedule was so curtailed because of the lack of funds due to the bank holiday that semi-professional teams on the Eastern Shore were the chief source of opposition. However, the University of Delaware was played twice with each team victorious on its home grounds. A game with the George Washington batters was cancelled because of rain and the University of Maryland triumphed in the only oiher collegiate contest. Letters in 1933 went to Captain Moxie Carey, southpaw pitcher, and to O ' Parrell, Hodgson, Evans, Bilancioni, Baker, Berry. Reinhart, Wimbrow, Tignor, Nicholson and Dickerson, and to Manager Ready, Coach Kibler this spring has all of the last year ' s letter men back except Carey, Dickerson, Wimbrow and Nicholson with which to build a winning team. As the Pegasus goes to press, only two games have been played. The Chestertown semi-professional combination was beaten by a large score, as each of the Maroon and Black pitchers was given a chance to toss them up. The second game of the season was scheduled with the Johnstown team, a farm club of the Baltimore Orioles of the International League, Unfortunately this contest, which was for the benefit of the Easton Emergency Hospital, was rained out. In the only other contest of the season, George Washington won the first of a home-and-home series at Griffith Stadium in Washington, by an 1 1-2 score. The lineup for the remaining eight games will remain intact as in the first two, with Evans as the starting pitcher and O Farrell and Proudfoot ready for immediate relief; Bilancioni, catcher: Russ Baker, first base; Elmer Boyles, second base; Charley Berry, shortstop; Bill Reinhart, third base: Albert Dob- kins, right fielder; Hobart Tignor, center fielder, and Art Greims, left fielder. Of these nine, six are Sophomores, Dobkins and Boyles being Seniors and Greims a member of the Freshman Class. Thus beginning with this season Washington College has a veteran combination that has two more years to scintillate on the diamond. Besides the players on the starting nine, others who will probably earn letters are OTarrell, Proudfoot, Abbott, Moffett and Goldstein. Washington College is fortunate in having Coach J. Thomas Kibler, who knows baseball as thoroughly as any coach in the country. A man who had a brilliant career of his own which took him to the big leagues, Kibler has been responsible for many fine Washington College outfits that have always more than held their own in the State and neighboring section of the country. Several players who learned their baseball rudiments from Coach Kibler have reached the major leagues. Chief among these is Jake Flowers, who played third base with the Brooklyn club of the National League, and then starred in the 1932 World Series as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals of the same league.

So many girls were interested in making the class teams, that instead of picking teams at the beginning of the season, class squads were selected in order to give more people an opportunity to play. The hockey rivalry between the Freshman and Sophomores was con- tinued on the basketball floor, where the Sophomores repeated their victory of the Fall of the previous year. One Hundre The Pegasus. 1 934 Tennis (J HE increased interest in tennis on the campus in 1933 culminated in an exciting tournament, which was watched by an interested gallery. The tournament was so arranged that the players fell into groups, experienced and inexperienced, who played a complete tournament among themselves, meeting only at the finals. The second group, however, did not complete their tournament. The first group played as follows, beginning with the second round: Byrn defeated Metcalfe, 7-5, 2-6, 6-3, Helms defeated Kreeger, 6-2, 10-8. Byrn defeated Helms, 5-7, 7-5, 6-4. The doubles tournament was not completed as the time was completely taken up by the singles games. The Pegasus, 1934 Archery HE fall practice resulted in renewed interest in this sport, though it was at a disadvantage in that it conflicted with hockey, the major fall sport. The Spring tournament is expected to be a very interesting one, because of the increased number of trained archers now in the College student body after the preceding years of shooting. New equipment will help to build up this department. It is an important sport because it can be carried over into post-graduate life.

Who can say but at the same Instant from some planet far A child may watch us and exclaim: See the pretty shooting star! — Oliver Herford.

On entering the upstairs Assembly Room: Individuals of contrasting gender sat in unilluminated angular intersec- tions in intimate juxtaposition. Their antebrachial anterior extremities en- circled their cervical vertebrae, and a throbbing of the cardiac plexus accom- panied cooing vocal emanations of mutual pleasure. As Ted Brownagle and his orchestra blasts the St. Louis Blues ; Aeolian blasts of cacaphonous dissyncopation, attended by emotional con- vo lutions of the leader ' s physiognomy, proclaimed in the tones of an erotic bovine the cerulean aspects of St. Louis. I DON ' T My parents told me not to smoke — I don ' t! Nor listen to a dirty joke — I don ' t! They made it clear I musn ' t wink At pretty girls, or even think. About intoxicating drink — I don ' t! To flirt or dance is very wrong — I don ' t! Wild youth chase women, wine and song I don ' t! I kiss no girl, not even one, I do not know how it is done; You wouldn ' t think I had much fun — I DON ' T! Bad men want- their women to be like cigarette.s — Just so many, all slender and trim in a case, Waiting in a row to be selected — set aflame and Discarded when their fire has died. More fastidious men prefer women like cigars. These are more exclusive, look better and last longer; If the brand is good, they aren ' t given away. Good men treat women like pipes and become more Attached to them the older they grow. When the flame is burnt out they still look after them. Knock them gently but lovingly, and carp For them always. No man shares his pipe. The Pegasus. 1934 One Hundred Seventy Phi Sigma Phi Minutes read by Bill Baker. Brother Mooney asks Bill to use two syllable words if possible from now on, as he couldn ' t understand the minutes. (Bill makes a crack about the mentality of some of the brothers that we will let pass.) A suggestion is made to President Jimmie Davis that a quarter be taken from the treasury to buy an ash tray. Brothers become involved in intricacies of Finance and argue for one hour whether this form be placed under Amuse- ments or Old Bills. Bill Long and John Wagner nearly come to blows. Recess called to settle dispute. After recess no one can recall what the dispute was about. Brother Brougham protests that the new large size fraternity pins look like a sheriff ' s badge. (Investigation reveals that some one has sold him a sheriff ' s badge instead of a frat pin.) Meeting adjourned. Some of the members ride off in cars, some ride off huff. m a Phi Sigma Tau Minutes read and burned. Motion made and seconded that a new treasurer be elected, as the present treasurer can ' t be located. All members present (four or five of them) asked to try to get the other fellow to come next meeting (jeers from the rear of the room). Beasman and Burkhardt asked to refrain from matching pennies while meeting is in process. Reinhold asked to place his shoes in window sill before retiring for the night. (Loud applause.) Brother Clark suggests that number of pledges for next year be kept down, as he says they had so many pledges this year they looked like a bread line forming when they all started coming in the lounge room at once. (Boos and hisses. ) Motion made and passed that meeting adjourn as movies start in fifteen minutes. Alpha Kappa Minutes were used to stuff up a broken window pane, were illegible anyhow, Proudfoot warned against using chandelier as a trapeze. (As Proudfoot was under the table, fhis passed over his head.) Motion made and passed that fines for lateness be imposed beginning next year. (Loud applause . . . from brothers graduating this June.) Sayler warned to stay off the sofa till he is through shedding hair. Law and Order Price asks for more decorum at meetings. (Duffy gets out from under sofa to ask what dey-core-um means. Someone tells him and he laughs so much he has to leave the room.) Tarbell Giraitis gets started up on individualism vs. scholasticism. (Nuttle gently leads him out of the room.) Dave Fisher protests against noise made by the radio after twelve o ' clock. Dave says he can ' t lead the life he has been leading and not get ten hours sleep each night. The pop of a bottle being opened is heard upstairs — meeting immediately adjourned. (It was only Brother Duffy opening a bottle of hair tonic.) One Hundred Seventy-One ThePegasus, 1934 What Would Happen If: 1. Dean Jones missed a class, 2. The cafeteria served caviar, 3. Gamber and Fleetwood met at a certain Mt. Vernon Avenue residence, 4. If we didn ' t have Miss Whitaker, 5. Jean Young really left school. 6. Nobody had headaches on Monday morning, 7. Dr. Mead made only announcements at assembly, 8. Someone washed the trays in the cafeteria, 9. Your date in Reid Hall didn ' t keep you waiting, 10. Nobody wrote wisecracks (i ) on the bulletin board. Little Jasper Little Jasper trembled with excitement. Such a project had never occurred to him before. I ' ll go alone, I ' m not afraid, mother. You ' ve nursed me through child- hood. Gad! I ' ll never forget. But I ' m something of a man now. Yes, sir; one of the seething mass called youth. And what ' s more, I ' m game. I don ' t need your help as I once did. Gripes, mom, don ' t cry. We men gotta stick together. I won ' t be long — just wait. Little Jaspar ' s face beamed with angelic nonchalance as he pushed open the door to the men ' s room. The Pegasus, 1934 The Old Oaken Bucket (As censored by the Board of Health) With what anguish of mind I remember my childhood, Recalled in the Hght of knowledge since gained, The malarious farm, the wet fungus-grown wildwood. The chills then contracted that since have remained; The scum-covered duck-pond, the pig-sty close by it. The ditch where the sour-smelling house drainage fell. The damp, shaded dwelling, the foul barnyard nigh it — But worse than all else was that terrible well, And the old oaken bucket, the mold-crusted bucket. The moss-covered bucket that hung in the well. Just think of it I Moss on the vessel that lifted The water I drank in the days called to mind. Ere I knew what professors and scientists gifted In the water of wells by analysis find; The rotting wood-fiber, the oxide of iron, The algae, the frog of unusual size, The water as clear as the verses of Byron, Are things I remember with tears in my eyes. Oh, had I but realized in time to avoid them — The dangers that lurked in that pestilent draft — I ' d have tested for organic germs and destroyed them — With potassic permanganate ere I had quaffed. Or perchance I ' d have boiled it, and afterward strained it Through filters of charcoal and gravel combined; Or, after distilling, condensed and regained it In potable form with its filth left behind. How little I knew of the enteric fever Which lurked in the water I ventured to drink. But since I ' ve become a devoted believer In the teachings of science, I shudder to think. And now far removed from the scenes I ' m describing, The story of warning to others I tell, As memory reverts to my youthful imbibing And I gag at the thought of that horrible well. And the old oaken bucket, the fungus-grown bucket — In fact, the slop-bucket — that hung in the well. — Anonymous. The Pegasus. 1934 (The Editor ' s last words to the 1934 Pegasus as adapted from R. M. Field.) TO HIS BOOK 1 You vain, self-conscious little book, Companion of my happy days, How eagerly you seem to look For wider fields to spread your lays: My desks and locks cannot contain you. Nor blush of modesty restrain you. Well, then, begone, fool that thou art! But do not come to me and cry, When critics strike you to the heart: Oh wretched little book am I! You know I tried to educate you To shun the fate that must await you. 3 In youth you may encounter friends (Pray this prediction be not wrong) , But wait until old age descends And thumbs have smeared your gentlest son Then will the moths connive to eat you And rural libraries secrete you. 4 However, should a friend some word Of my obscure career request. Tell him how deeply I was stirred To spread my wings beyond the nest; Take from my years, which are before you, To boom my merits. I implore you. 5 Tell him I am Tall and slender Quick in temper, soon appeased. With locks of brown — but what of that? — Loving the sun, with nature pleased. I ' m more than Twenty and one. hark you: AND READY FOR A NIGHT OFF, MARK YOU! ENTY-FivE The Pegasus, 1934 Alice in Wonderland The time has come, the Walrus said, To talk of many things: Of shoes — and ships — and sealing-wax- Of cabbages — and kings — And why the sea is boiling hot — And whether pigs have wings.
